Daloris

Daloris is a feminine name that appears to be a spelling variation of Dolores, which comes from Spanish and means "sorrows," traditionally referring to the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows (María de los Dolores). This particular spelling with an 'a' in the first syllable creates a subtle distinction from the more common version. While maintaining the soft, rhythmic quality of the original name, Daloris offers a slightly different visual presentation and potentially altered pronunciation. The name was most popular in the United States during the 1920s-1940s when variations of Dolores saw widespread use. Today, Daloris remains quite uncommon, giving it a vintage charm and uniqueness that might appeal to parents looking for a distinctive alternative to more familiar names.

Pronounced duh-LOR-iss.
